MAGGIE. Albert Prosser. ALICE. No. MAGGIE. Do you expect him? ALICE. He's not been here so often since you and Willie Mossop got-- MAGGIE (_sharply_). Since when? ALICE. Since you made him buy that pair of boots he didn't want. MAGGIE (_moving_ C.). I see. He didn't like paying for taking his pleasure in our shop. Well, if he's not expected, somebody must go for him. Prosser, Pilkington & Prosser, Solicitors of Bexley Square. That's right, isn't it? ALICE. Yes. Albert's "and Prosser." MAGGIE (_moving up stage_ R.). Aye? Quite a big man in his way. Then, will you go and fetch him, Mr. Beenstock? Tell him to bring the paper with him. VICKEY (_dropping down_ R., _indignantly_). You're ordering folk about a bit. MAGGIE. I'm used to it. |
